Punctured Primer

I have tested the ammo, by adding some tape on the back
of the receiver. The toggle did nog damage the tape, so
the ammo should be ok.

Almost certainly the firing pin....and once you've had a pierced primer it's likely you'll have more as the escaping gases flame cut the pin tip into a rough jagged shape...as others have said, try to reprofile and smooth the tip.
